Cut and paste from the Realm news page:

"Will there be new spells released for the classes with the Planes of Power expansion?

Certainly. There will be somewhat more than 150 new spells for Planes of Power.

If so, will this be across all levels as in previous expansions or just in the 50+ or 60+ areas (since this is a high level expansion).

The new spells are for the new levels from 61 to 65.

Can you gives us some details on how the spells will work (i.e only in the Planes or will they work anywhere)?

They’ll work the way spells have always worked. We don’t plan to restrict them to the planes.

How will any new spells be acquired?

You should find some that can be purchased, some quested, some dropped. We’ll probably use all three methods.

Will we be seeing more ancient spells arrive with the expansion?

No spells with Ancient in the title for Planes of Power. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be rare spells, but nothing that rare.

Will it be critical to have specific spells (i.e. Banes) in order to clear a plane?

Critical? No. Useful… sure. And we’re certainly not ruling out the possibility of bane items or spells in Planes of Power.

How will this expansion be used to further develop the caster balancing project which started back in February of 2002?

Only in that we plan to keep the expansion itself and the new levels balanced. We don’t really plan to ‘use’ this expansion to deal with existing balance issues. We’ll continue to work on that as a separate issue. Though we do have some plans to make changes before the release of Planes of Power to affect some much needed changes. We’ll get more out on that soon."

More balancing due soon? *duck*
